Kelly, Liz and Sharp-Jeffs, Nicola (2016) Knowledge and Know-how: the Role of Self-Defence in the Prevention of Violence Against Women. Project Report. EU Parliament, Brussels, Brussels.
This study, commissioned by the European Parliament Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs upon request by the FEMM Committee, examined research on the effectiveness of self-defence and its place in policies at EU and Member State levels. It concludes that there is a growing evidence base that feminist self-defence can be effective in preventing violence. Whilst references to self-defence are present in the EU and Council of Europe policy documents, they are not substantial and yet to be developed into a coherent approach. Self-defence should be considered a promising practice and be better promoted and supported. More space should be made for it in policy, financing and research.
